Hello Lina,
I cannot find a recipe with gofio and vegetables, sorry. Below are the gofio
recipes that I did find.
There are several recipes with gofio on this page, but the page is in Spanish. Perhaps
you can translate.

Tortilla De Carnaval
Ingredients:
Gofio, Plain Flour (optional), Three or four egg yolks, Ground cinnamon,
Half a litre of milk, Sugar, Aniseed liqueur or Marie Brizard.
Method:
Mix the egg yolks with the milk, cinnamon and sugar (the amount of which you
can vary according to taste), along with a dribble of the aniseed liqueur.
Beat well, then add the gofio a little at a time, until you have a consistency
resembling custard. (You can mix flour with the gofio, again according to preference).
Fry small amounts of the mixture until golden in hot oil to make little pancakes.
It is customary to eat them at Carnaval time, accompanied by coffee.
-------------------------------------------
"Gofio Escaldao" (Scalded Gofio)
Ingredients: 1 litre of strained fish broth, 1 sprig of mint and 1/4 Kg. of gofio.
Method:
1. Place the gofio in a dish with the sprig of mint and add slowly the boiling broth.
Do not stop stirring it to bind it without lumps. This can also be made using
vegetable broth, soup or stew.
This dish is served with red onion in vinegar and water or with fried garlic.
---------------------------------------------
"Pella de Gofio" (Lump of Gofio)
Ingredients: 1/2 Kg. of gofio , 1/2 glass of water, 1/2 glass of oil, sugar and salt.
Method:
1. Knead the gofio with water, table salt, a little bit of sugar and oil until you
get a thick paste.
2. Form a cylinder with it and cut into slices.
